Richard Pryor: Self

Quotes 

• Richard Pryor : [on driving his Ferrari Testarossa around the country]  The police in Wyoming followed me to the motel one night, said, "We didn't get you today - but we gonna get you tomorrow." But they were sweet - they were nice people, you know?

  Johnny Carson : Yeah.

  Richard Pryor : And I was always scared, because in those towns, I'll be thinkin' - you know, some black person, and all my - all my messed-up thinking that someone... nicest people in the world. Pull in a truck stop, and they're just gracious. You know? And they just treated me nice. People are great. And America works!

  Johnny Carson : Yeah. Yeah, it does.

  Richard Pryor : It really does!

  Johnny Carson : It works better than what comes in second.
